Curriculum

Key Stage 3

Music is a universal language that exemplifies a high form of inventiveness and creativity. Students will perform, listen to, analyse, review and evaluate music across a variety of genres, styles and historical periods, including set-works of famous composers and musicians. Students will have the opportunity to learn a wide range of instruments, utilise their voices through proper voice technique and compose music of a high standard on their own and in groups. Pitch, music notation, dynamics, articulation, tempo, timbre, texture and structure are all taught and explored. Key stage 3 music is a comprehensive music programme that prepares pupils for IGCSE.
